Program:

The Huron Valley Chapter of the Project Management Institute will kick off the 2004-2005 year with a Networking Extravaganza on Monday, September 20. Featured at this meeting will be "elevator pitches" from representatives of local professional organizations, a raffle of several popular networking books, and three structured networking sessions with fellow PMI members and their guests. Think musical chairs, with everyone getting a seat! The sessions will allow you to meet new contacts, and discuss important questions for our chapter and your work, home, and community endeavors. More networking was a frequent request from the April, 2004 chapter brainstorming session, so we are going to start the new year with a bang! Join us on September 20 at the Holiday Inn North in Ann Arbor. Registration and snacks are at 5:30; the program starts at 6:00. 

Our theme for the new chapter year is "Beyond PMBOK - Risks, Opportunities, and Rewards of Real Projects. In response to the high level of interest in risk management expressed in the April, 2004 chapter meeting brainstorming, all speakers during the 2004/2005 year will be asked to include risk management in their presentations. 

On October 18, Dr. George Fornero, Ann Arbor Schools Superintendent, Laura Hagan, Bond/Sinking Fund Program Director, and Jack Baker, Consultant, will join us to discuss the $240 million capital projects bond/sinking fund program. Lots of projects are on the horizon. We will have group breakout sessions to solicit our ideas for managing the risks and opportunities of this large, complex program. 

On November 15, we will welcome Mark Kozak-Holland, author of "On-Line, On-Time, On-Budget: Titanic Lessons for the E-Business Executive". Mark is a senior business consultant with IBM Global Systems, Canada. He uses vivid examples and lessons from the Titanic to clarify the business issues for designing, building, and implementing Internet projects. 

So mark your calendars, and we will see you on September 20!
